BIOPL 3420: Plant Physiology

BIOPL 3420: Plant Physiology (Spring 2011, Cornell University). Instructor: Thomas Owens. Integrated and interdisciplinary study of the processes that contribute to the growth, competition, and reproduction of plants. Topics include plant-water relations, membrane properties and processes, photosynthesis, plant respiration, mineral and organic nutrition, stress physiology, control of growth and development, and responses to the environment. Emphasis is on the relationship between structure and function from the molecular to the whole-plant level.
